EL MENIA METEORITES SPECIMENS

El Menia is the name given to a meteorite that fell in Algeria in 2023. This impressive L5 chondrite streaked across the sky around 10:30 AM local time on March 11, 2023, illuminating the regions of central Algeria. The fireball burst over the city of El Menia, scattering the city and nearby farmlands with bluish stones marked by fusion crusts. Remarkably, some stones were even observed “skipping” across the desert sands! To date, approximately 75 kilograms of these stones have been recovered from the surrounding areas. The chondrite features a variety of chondrule sizes, all embedded in a light gray matrix.
